Nestled in the picturesque ski village of Silverstar Mountain Resort lies the world’s first custom built ski hostel, ready to meet every ski holiday maker’s needs. ‘Samesun Silverstar Hostel’ provides the ideal accommodation for budget travelers, families, individuals and groups to experience all that Silverstar Mountain Resort has to offer.
This ski in/ski out hostel is located directly in the resort village of Silverstar in British Columbia. It boasts world-class facilities, with a fully equipped kitchen big enough to cater for everyone, a massive common room with pool tables, table tennis, foozball, computers, plenty of areas to relax on the lounges and even a separate TV room.
The attention to detail with the decoration of this hostel is incredible, with wooden signs, pictures, antique skis and animal skin rugs all combining to create an intimate luxury ski lodge feeling without the price tag. The entire bottom level is dedicated to the expansive common room, adjoining kitchen, TV room and ski/snowboard storage area. No shortcuts have been taken to add more rooms as a money making scheme, there really is enough space to find your own private area to relax on a lounge reading a book.
Alternatively, if you are ready to meet people, make new friends and hang out- the atmosphere the hostel provides is unreal! Each night everyone comes together to party, with the common room being far enough away from all of the rooms that you won’t be kept awake if looking for an early night. However with such a fun, inclusive atmosphere its hard to say no to the activities taking place! Various games, dress up themes and a mixture of travelers as well as long-term staff provide the perfect combination for a great night out. When ready, its just an easy walk a hundred metres down the hill to join the rest of the village at any of the popular bar/club venues. The hostel remains secure by having an entry code which changes every day so only current residents can return after 11pm- just don’t forget to check the code before you leave!
Accommodation at Samesun includes the option of dorms or private rooms, all with access to the entire Hostel’s facilities. Comfortable beds mean you can let your muscles rest after a big day on the slopes with a nice sleep, and each room has plenty of space for luggage and to dry your ski clothes. The shared bathrooms on each floor are always kept clean, and of course there is plenty of HOT water for your shower to warm up!
A scrumptious breakfast of pancakes and maple syrup is included every morning, just pour onto the pans set up and enjoy! Vending machines are available in the common room 24/7, or stock up at the mini mart and cook up a feast in the kitchen! For a night off cooking, head down the hill on a 2 minute walk to any of the wide range of restaurants to meet all tastes and budgets. Plenty of pubs, fancy restaurants and cafes make for an experience in itself trying all of the food the village has to offer! Make sure you check out ‘The Den’, ‘Mountain Katz’, ‘Long Johns’ and ‘The Saloon’ just to name a few! For a small village the prices are actually surprisingly affordable, and the food absolutely divine!
